PittIlarg TiIaes. EeI. "a.

a humber of railroad men, rep
iesenting the largest capitalists of
the East and South, held meeting
in this city yesterday at the offices
of the Pennsylvania Company.
The business Considered was the
letting of contracts for the building
Of q road that-uill be a part-of the
general Pennsylvania system
The neW1company3 which is known
as the Ohio and Northwestern Rail
road Company, was organized for
the purpose of building a road from
Point Pleasant, w. Va, to Cincin-
natl, on the Ohio side of the river,
in immediate connectin with the
Ohio Valley road on the Virginia
side, which has Just been opened
from Point Pleasant to Wheeling.
The little road which was graded
seven years ago from Bellaire to
Marietta, o., will be extended as
far as Pomeroy, thus connecting
Pittsburg directly with a new Sec
tion1by one and possibly twosnew
lines.
The company has already par-
chased the Cincinnati and Eastern
and the Cincinnatiand Portsmouth
Railroads, and both are being relaid
with the heaviest of rails. The
fifty-three miles of railroad between
Gallipolis and Portsmouth, which
Is in course Of construction, will be
finished by August next.
Among the Eastern people inter
ested In the new venture are James
G. Blaine, William Walter. Phelps,
Warner Miller, D. o. Mills George
West, Wharton Barker of Philadel-
phia, and others. The road will at
once be connected by closer lines
with the Pennsylvania system,
thus giving Pittsburg. during the
coming summer direct connection
with all the towns upon the river
line to Cincinnati. Heretofore
there have been large number Of
towns and counties, aggregating q
population of over half a million
people, that are not now conven-
iently reached by the Pennsylvania
system. The general railroad bus
mess of this city will also be great,
ly increased by reason of the fac,
that a large part of this territory
which has had its eastern outlet
over the Baltimore and Ohio and
the Chesapeake and Ohio, will here
after reach New York through
Pittsburg.
The new line will run its pass
enger trains from the Little Miami
railroad in Cincinnati to the Union
depot in this city. The organiza
tion fthe new company was com
pleted by the election of Mr.. H. q
Parsous, of Natural Bridge, Virgin.
ia, President, and Edward c
Peachin, of New York, Vice Pres
ident. The latter gentleman i:
we'll known in this city, having
formerly resided here.
While the meeting was in pro
gress a telegram was received sta
ting that the courts had just con
firmed the sale of the Columbus anc
Maysvill Railroad to the new cor
poration. Immediate action wa!
taken in the matter and it was de
termined to at once extend the lin,
so as to have direct connection witt
the iron and ore fields of Birming
ham, Ala.

If aman has been so fortunate
as to accumulate money, and then
invest it in building railroads, oil
refining. saw mills. coal mines, &c,
aud developing his Stale, and Civ
ing employment to hundreds and
thousands of mechanics and labor
ing men, at good wages; and seeks
a political Office, he is at once de-
nounced as a monopolist, miser and
skin flint, to be boycotted pOliti-
cally, and to be forever damned
by members of his own party.
This seemed to be the cause of all
the opposition among Democrats
in the late Legislature, to Mr.
Camden. 1t was the first time
We learned that It was a crime
to be rich and a public bene-
factor. The Democratic boilers of
the caucus, led by Dan. Lucas, have
declared It to be so, and by their
Vaccinations, while they have not
defeated Mr.. Camden, yet they
have prevented his election, and
the Legislature has adjourned
without electing a United States
Senator. These twelve kickers
may gloat and chuckle over their
work, but we predict that the most
of them will live to see the day
when they will bitterly repent of
their dlsloyalty to their party.

We deplore the state of affairs in
the Democratic party in this State.
We never thought for a moment
that the kicking Democrats would
carry their fight so far as to per-
NIT the Legislature to adjourn
without electing a United States
Senator. Mr.. Camden was fairly and
honestly selected by caucus ma
jority of the Democratic members,
and he was entitled to the votes of
the minority. But it was rule or
rnin with them. We are satisfied
the constituents of these twelve bolt
ing Democrats, will never endorse
the conduct of these men. How
much their course will endanger
the success of the Democratic party
in this State in 1888, remains to
be seen. No doubt these gentle
men will be heartily ashamed of
their work when they fully realize
what they have done.

If Judge okey Johnson, of the
Supreme Court of Appeals, is de
luded with the belief that he has
added to his popularity with the
Democrats, in the part he took to
prevent the election of Mr.. Cam
den, the Democratic caucus nomi
nee, to the United States Senate,
he should dispel that belief at
once, and begin to make amends
for the wrong he has done his par
ty. We very much fear that his
undemOcratic course will be his
political death. II is singular how
a popular and honored man will
deliberately kill himself with his
party.

If Dan. Lucas and his followers
should call the roll of the Demo
Gratis in this county, they would
find that not over two Democrats
in the county endorse them
in their disloyalty to- the will of
the majority Democrats in the
Legislature. Lucas opposition to
Camden was a selfish one; and his
support of Wilson for Senator was
in the hope that if an election
euuld be prevented, the Governor
would appoint Lucas Senator. An
article in another column gives the
inside of the whole affair.

HYPocRIrEs.
The Republicans of this State
have shown themselves up for what
they are worth. They have no
object in the world but party sue
cess. In spite of much brag and
buster they will meet a defeat in
1888, which we hope will be set
tiers powder. They have been the
tail OF a greenback dog and have
wagged in dirt. Their delegates
have been unwillingly forced by
the party to vote in joint conven
ton for such men as BuIdett and
Gates, for the eminent position of
U. S. Senator-one of whom would
disgrace any honorable position
that decent man could fill. And
when one of the purest and best
men in the party, endorsed in SEN
timent by many of the purest and
best men in his party, has voted as
a West Virginian and not as a pol
itician, they have howled against
him like hoodlnms.
MoNoPoLIsrs.
Moneyed monopolists who en-
ploy labor, and soulless corporations
which spend their money, are all

Young Mems Democratic Club
Especially is this true among all
those who would like to see him
elected President in 1883. But,
however the Presidential boom
goes, the Democracy bears itself
proudly. Not because Governor
Hill says SO, but because it is so.-
The following are the closing sem
fences of his speech:
"The Young men of the country
are rallying TO our standard, and
Sin the bright lexicon of youth
there Is no such word as fail" We
present to the people the living is
sues of the day, and not the quest
ions of the dead past. We expect
to succeed, because we are giving
the people better government than
that which characterized Republi.
can rule; because our principles are
in the interest of the great body of
our populations; because we protect
the rights of all; because while we
believe in a strong government,
we do not believe in an internal
government; because that we be-
lieve that labor should receive its
fair share of reward and that by
just and equal laws every man
should have an opportunity to sus-
tain himself; because we would
maintain proper relations in the
exercise of power, and believe in
the doctrine that "while the people
shouted support the Government,
the Government should not sup
port the people" With these
watchwords on our banner, Democ.
racy, which never dies and never
surrenders-courageously, boldly
and confidently marches forward to
the victory which surely awaits US
in 1885,"
Says the Fairmont Inder: eff Jim
Mason should live to see the Dem.
